Health Care in Belize

by Admin on January 17, 2010

Some wonder what health care is like in Central American and the Caribbean. After all, the idea here is to get away from the rat race. Well, you'll be pleased to know just what medical services are available here.
Belize has seven main government hospitals. One in Belize City, one in Belmopan, and one in each of the other five main cities. Add to that the rural health care centers and mobile clinics in remote areas. You'll want to look into private health insurance - it's the way to go here in Belize.
Most consider it safe to drink the tap water here. Yet if you're visiting and have any doubts, bottled water is easy to find too.
